To @ZZ whom it may concern.'

Be it known that we, OSCAR J. HonorinnHLnR, a citizen of. Switzerland, and a resident of Far Rockaway, borough of Queens' in theV county of Queensand State-of New Yorin and @Iranians Sorrorrnn, alcitizen of Germany, `and a resident of the city of N ew York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York., have invented a new and Improved Hair-VVavingg` Device, of which the following'is a, fullnclear and eX- act description.l v y This invention has relation to permanent' hair waving devices and has particularv reference to anv improvement in the construction of the core member thereof. y

One of the principal objects of thepresent invention resides the provision of a core member for permanent hair waving devices which effects a wavey of gradually increasing size from the root to the outer end of the hair inorder to more closely simulate the natural wave.

As a further object the invention contemplates a device which permits of the waving of the hair closer to its' root or the scalp.

As a still further object the invention contemplates a3 device which eliminates the neces-sity of vtying-the hair at the roots, thereby eliminatingthe pain resulting from the tying operation and effecting a considerable savingV of time in preparingthe hair-for the waving operation.' v

As a still further object the invention contemplates a device which admits of an expansion `of the hairafterthe same has been applied to the core, thus precluding the necessity of a tight initial wrapping of the same thereabout.

The invention furthermore contemplates a device of the character described which mav be used in connection with a heater or shell member of any approved type.

With the above recited and other objects in view, the invention resides in the novel construction set forth in the following speciiication, particularly pointed out in the appended claims and illustrated in the accom panying drawing, it being understood that the right is reserved to embodiments other than those actually illustrated herein to the full exent indicated by the general meaning' of the terms in which the claims are en" pressed. l

In the drawingy v Fgure 1 is avview illustratingthe core membelslconstructed in accordance: with the invention in applied position to the hair;`

members removed. l

full and dotted lines the contracted panded positions of the core. y f

Fig. Z1 is an enlarged `detail transverse mately'on the line ,4i-+4.0f Fig. 2.

sec-5 l tional view throughthe'core 'taken approxif Referring to the drawingsby characters of reference,:the kcore comprises a st'ationaryf section 10 and a movable section 11 whichfis; pivoted to the stationary section by a. pivotp in 13. rlhe stationary sectionyl is pro; vided at onetextremity with a tubular exf-v tension 14 which is interiorly threaded las at'.

l5, to receive the exteriorly threaded busllfing' 16. The oppositeextremity ofthe'section 10 is provided with a head'. 17 having;

rearwardlyv projecting bil'lnor hook ,138g i formed `with f inclined` or taperingv wall 19. The juncture of, the head with they bill. 18 and the section 10. defines a circular'.

transverse spacer-20 with which a receiviilie mouth- 21z communicates. i The sections .10A

and 11 are of halfoval shape in crossb sec-l f tionandtheinconfrontingH faces'are pro?y complementary semi-conical grooves 22 and 23' which decreasefin siser videdl with from the pivotal' fconnection "between fthe t' tions 10 and 11 taper-exteriorly from their no pivotally connected ends to their free ends- In use and operation the headed extrem# l ity 17 which may be termed the inner end of the core is engaged with a lock of hair close to the scalp by entering said lock through the mouth 21 and positioning the same within the circular transverse space 20. The lock of hair is then Wound about the sections 1 0 and of the core which axial movement of the saine through theg are initially contracted by retracting the conical stem 25. After the lock has been wound from the inner end toward the'outer end, the outer ends of the hair are tied to! the stem. Akey or wrench is engagedrwith the" non-circular or squared portion 28 and the stem rotated to eect longitudinal or core toward the inner headed end 17 thereby expanding or effecting relative separation ofthe sections and 11.l This action serves to tighten the hair wrapped about the in the transverse circular space 20. The

core and at the same time advance the beveled or inclined free extremity 24 of the section 11 4against the inclined wall 19 of 'the'.

bill 18 to lock the hair at the inner end withouter shell or heatei1- is then telescopically arranged over the core and hairin the usual manner. The oval formation of the core tends to producevthe true-marcel wave inf stead `of the curl or kink produced a round' core'. The taper 0f the core from its natural wave.

inner to its outerl end produces a larger Wave at the outer ends and a smaller wave at the inner end to more closely simulate the l'he tapered condition in which the hair is maintained vduring the heating operation also tends to compensate for -theconical formation of the hair which is larger at `its root than at its outer end.

` By providing a core which may be expandedy after the hair is wrapped thereabout the necessity Vof obtaining atight initial wrapping is eliminated. The formation of the interlocking hooked retaining extremity at the inner end'of the coredoes away with the necessity of vtying the hair at kthe roots, thereby eliminating the pain and added amount of time incident to such tying operation. l/Vhen the waving operation is comi pleted -a key or wrench is again associated with the portion 28fand by retracting the conical stem 25 axially the contraction of the body of the core is effected to facilitate the removal of the core from the hair. y It is of course understood that if desired .the expanding action of the core may be done away with and the same used in a predetermined set position. We claimt 1. Acore for permanent hair waving de vices comprising a body consisting of a paii1 5 of sections of half oval shapel in cross section and having pivotal connection With each otherat their outer ends, said sections having complementary semi-conical grooves in their confronting faces with the restricted ends thereof disposed toward the free ends of the sections, a conicalv stem axially movable with respect to said sections and received in said grooves for effecting the advancement of the sectionstoward and away from each other, and a hooked terminal at the free end of vone section adapted to be engaged by the terminal of the opposite section upon advancement of said sections away fromv each other to' lock and maintain thev hair Within said hooked terminal.4

2. A hair curler andv Waver comprising an expansible .tubular member upon which the hair isl adapted to be wound, means extend# ing into said tubular member for expanding the same whereby the coils of hair are drawn taut thereupon, and interengageable means at the inner end of said member, operable upon expansionof the same for' locking the hair thereto.

3. A hair curling and waving device cominner end of the opposite'section being prod vided with an inclined face which upon relative separation of said sections are adapted to engage for locking the strand of hair against displacement. i
